Classic mistake of overthinking it and failing to realize what interviewer really wants - which is to make sure the candidate can actually write code, like at all. The question itself doesn't really matter as much as it's just a pretext. I actually asked a variation of this question for many years at Google and it was clear within first 5 mins who has been writing code day-to-day and who's been mostly "brining key stakeholders into conversations at appropriate time".
Idk about anyone else but my school had a program called Accelerated Reader where you could read a book and take a test about it to score points.

Don’t worry. It’s Intel we’re talking about. They may say that it’s coming out in 6 months, but that’s never stopped them from releasing it in 3 years instead.
> In a city, if I have a gifted child, I almost certainly have several options for what school to send them to, many probably within walking distance. In a sparse suburb, I have one, unless they want an hour-long bus ride.

I don’t think you know what you’re talking about. I live in about as suburban of a town as you could imagine and there are 2 public elementary schools, a charter school, and a private Christian school within about a 15 minute walk. Within a 5-10 minute drive there are probably 5 more high quality charter schools, a few more private schools and who knows how many more public schools.

> This part of the article is very off-putting to me. You don’t need TikTok to find good books for kids. Kids don’t need to see digital advertisements to make a decision. They need access to a library stocked with recently published books that kids will enjoy.

> The author mentions later on that libraries are being defunded, and this is likely to be the root cause. Rather than spending so many words on speculation it would’ve been nice to see some hard numbers on the subject.

You also need "evangelism" from people in a position to influence. That's unlikely to be librarians; and parents/teachers are also not the best-positioned for that.

Overall the costs of social media likely still outweigh the harms here, but it seems to me like they've identified a legimitate "good" usage in encouraging reading in certain niches.

How to replicate that without social media? Gotta make a bunch of local kid "influencers."
The other reason it is compared to the M2 is that there are no iPads with M3s in them, so it makes sense to compare to the processor used in the previous generation product.
Why is it wrong? It is a widely known fact that texts are redundant and compress well. Many systems work with texts and there's an advantage when those texts are human-comprehensible. You can make a system which would auto-compress and decompress any text of sufficient length - and some do - but there's absolutely no surprise that texts are compressible and it doesn't indicate there's something wrong. Texts are not optimized for space, they are optimized for human convenience.
>That was not the claim. Apple did not argue that the G4's performance was commensurate with the state of the art in supercomputing.

This is marketing we're talking about, people see "supercomputer on a chip" and they get hyped up by it. Apple was 100% using the "supercomputer" claim to make their luddite audience think they had a performance advantage, which they did not.

> The entire reason they made the claim is

The reason they marketed it that way was to get people to part with their money. Full stop.

In the first link you added, there's a photo of a Cray supercomputer, which makes the viewer equate Apple = Supercomputer = I am a computing god if I buy this product. Apple's marketing has always been a bit shady that way.

And soon after that period Apple jumped off the PPC architecture and onto the x86 bandwagon. Gimmicks like "supercomputer on a chip" don't last long when the competition is far ahead.
My wife has a new iPad for grad school, and I'm convinced it's mainly an extra category for some customers to spend more money on if they already have a Mac and iPhone. The school supplied it, then she spent $400+ on the keyboard and other damn dongles to bring the hardware sorta up to par with a laptop, hoping to replace her 2013 MBP.

In the end, she still has to rely on the MBP daily because there's always something the iPad can't do. Usually something small like a website not fully working on it.

Maybe they want to explore or iterate or have control over the models in ways different than what OpenAI is doing.

It's almost 70x more powerful. A 4 year old 3070 laptop was cheaper when it came out and has about 200 TOPS, 7 times as much. It's just factually incorrect to call it "faster than any AI PC", it's far slower than a cheaper laptop from 4 years ago.
I think you dramatically underestimate the influence that TikTok has on young people. If you want something to be popular amongst young people, making it popular on TikTok is a huge way to do so.

It wasn't immediately clear to me why SRAM wouldn't scale like logic. This[1] article and this[2] paper sheds some light.

From what I can gather the key aspects are that decreased feature sizes lead to more variability between transistors, but also to less margin between on-state and off-state. Thus a kind of double-whammy. In logic circuits you're constantly overwriting with new values regardless of what was already there, so they're not as sensitive to this, while the entire point of a memory circuit is to reliably keep values around.

Alternate transistor designs such as FinFET, Gate-all-around and such can provide mitigation of some of this, say by reducing transistor-to-transistor variability by a factor, but can't get around root issue.

It seems pretty reasonable to compare it against the last-model iPad, which it's replacing.
I can't say I agree. Back in 2014 a laptop was purchased with a dual-core haswell CPU. 8 years later I revive the laptop by upgrading the CPU to almost the best possible CPU, which is a 4-core 8 thread CPU or 4-core 4 threads, I am unsure which of these it was, but the speed boost was massive. This is how you keep old tech alive.

And the good thing about mobile CPUs is that they have almost the same TDP across the various dual-quad versions(or whatever is the norm today).

These problems rely on a particularly rigid definition of what housing is. If your house had a back room with no natural light, that would be be far from convenient. But would you accept it if it cost half as much? I bet you would.

There are probably safety reasons why every room must have natural light. How hard is it to make a sideways light tube?
Maybe it's that I'm not in as sunny an area, but all of the (battery + panels) numbers I've seen tell me I'll see a break-even in 15 years, vs in ~5 if I just have panels.
Agreed about the iPad Air. The Pro is really a splurge upgrade over the Air. It's worth it for me personally, because I use it so much for photo editing, but I think for the vast majority of people who are smarter with their money the Air adds just as much practical value as the Pro.

Diesel is awesome. It doesn't go bad like gas does. This is part of why rural areas tend to have more Diesel implements and vehicles than urban areas. You can park a 1000 gallon tank of diesel and not worry about it turning into varnish. Although the concern about someone stealing it is still there...

However, solar and battery backup is getting real popular as well. If you have a ton of land, for about $15000 you can provision a 6-kw system that will keep your freezers running without needing fuel deliveries. Also it's a lot easier to maintain than a backup generator that doesn't start when the town drunk hits the only pole servicing your area 20 miles away.
You likely did the most common form of landlord "largesse" - subsidizing the tenant's rent by charging below market.

This is extremely common and doesn't hurt anyone, really. The tenant gets a stable place to live, the landlord gets a good tenant, and only the economists complain about something being sold below its value.
Risky to buy? It's not real estate it's a cup of coffee. And if you're worried about people faking it, just buy a $2 mason jar and make some in the fridge while you sleep.

I don't get the fascination with paying exorbitant prices and constantly complaining when it's next to zero effort to make it at home, cold or hot. And the best part is you get to choose where your beans come from, you don't have to worry about the political slant du jour of the coffee shop, and you can do it all for a fraction of the price even when using the most expensive beans.
This sounds made up tbh. I mean, I agree it's common to feel this "pressure" but the day you discover the pressure isn't real is the day you level up. And I charge plenty for fixing peoples' software pains.

I do open-source and write blog posts to satisfy my own desire to publicize my work, and for exposure, and to put my skills on display. Not as a race to the bottom. I could have had a career without those things.

You’re going to see a shift in the coming years due to inflation - more folks are already eating at home anyway.

But the answer is because sometimes you do need a kitchen, even if it’s to boil some water or whatever or reheat takeout, or because your Mom is visiting and wants to make something. Sharing a kitchen is often a nightmare if you can’t control who else is sharing it - constant fights over dirty dishes being one example. They often get tied up exactly when you want to use them too.

And having your own bathroom (the two are highly correlated as both require ‘wet walls’, and custom plumbing) is great when you want some privacy, are sick, etc. or have some safety concerns.

It can get even more gross and disturbing to share those when you can’t control who you’re sharing with. It’s a common friction point to share a bathroom even with room mates. A lot of people (especially women) flat out avoid public bathrooms due to safety and ‘ick’ concerns.

Imagine if the only toilet you could use if you woke up at 2am and needed to pee was a public toilet.

There is nothing wrong per-se with marginal housing, except they tend to attract ‘marginal people’ that bring with them trouble that others don’t want to deal with if they can avoid it. It does help with homelessness and the like - but it tends to self filter into dangerous territory, because who is going to want to stay at a place where homeless people stay unless they are homeless themselves?

Sharing them is always a step down in experience. It is always cheaper though, as the kitchen and the bathroom are usually the two highest maintenance and ‘most expensive’ rooms.

Most folks stuck in those situations move out ASAP - think dorm rooms and barracks. Or homeless shelters.

Singapore is extremely far along in the ‘eat out at restaurants’ side (it used to be, most Singaporeans ate out at least a couple meals a day), and even they have kitchens and private bathrooms in all the subsidized flats.
> I suppose I would go by the budget. Maybe 5-10million+ IMO.

Which is not really useful, because we usually don't have budgets.

Team size x development time might be an approximation for it, but if you assume an average salary of 80k and a development time of 30 months, by your reckoning AA is a team of 50... which is basically the low end of what's normally considered an AA team size.

> From personal experience I'd consider a AA game one where everyone on the dev team knows each other fairly well. AAA games get so large

Team Meat is just two people, four if you include the producer and the composer, I would very much assume they knew each other fairly well, but there's no meaningful interpretation of AA where Super Meat Boy is an AA game.

I figured looking up tall residential building and seeing what they do would be a good indicator of norms. The tallest Residential building in New York is Central Park Tower at 98 above ground floors:

The residential stories have casement windows, within the curtain wall, that can swing up to 4 inches (100 mm) outward. In addition, some condominium units have motorized windows at least seven feet (2.1 m) above the floor.[1]

The condominiums start on the 32nd floor, according to the same article.

If building can't easily be retrofitted to allow openable windows, then I would assume they either can't be used for residential or they could try to get some sort of exemption if they can prove it's safe. I'm mostly going off what I know about building codes and what I've read previously on the topic when it's posted and it's delved into what the actual problems are in converting to residential.

Fair point. Based on their first sentence, I mischaracterized how “laughable” was used.

Though the author also made clear in their second sentence that they think Apple is one of the worst when it comes to marketing claims, so I don’t think your characterization is totally accurate either.
I guess you could have it "opt in". But unless the guarantied resale price is adjusted for inflation the deal sounds quite bad.

It would probably inflate prices also.

As I said to the comment above, it makes perfect sense. In 2014 we purchased a dual core Haswell.

The gain in processing power were massive and made the laptop useable again.

I assume you know this from your reference to Hinze, but just to make the point clear:

In a pointer-to-mutable-memory language, a rope becomes a lot of recursive pointer-chasing inside a tree structure, typically referenced from the root down.

In a functional language, a rope may be built as a tree (or several subtree edits), but is processed from local cursors that have a bottom-up view from a concrete leaf position in the buffer.

A rope in a purely functional language is better described as a Finger Tree (Hinze, Paterson) [1] or Zipper (Huet) [2]:

Sure. The next step is helping them making a decision on which book to read and provide a social environment for doing that. Libraries do not really do that and haven't done that even in the early 90s.
